Help Michael and Sons Recover After Severe Tragic Accident.

Donation protected

Hello most of you know me as Michael Barbosa, some may know me as Gomez. on January 7th around 2030(830pm) I was involved in a devastating accident. I hit several patches of ice on my way home from the store, I tried several tactics to save myself and the only operating vehicle I have. Sadly I was unable to do so, and my manuevers to brakes failed, so in my attempt not to injure myself I braced for shocked, and tried to minimize the damages, unfortunately air bags did not deploy. I ended up crashing into a electrical utility pole which cracked. I suffered a concussion, broke my nose, received 3 lacerations, facial burn, and 14 stitches, 2nd degree facial burn, and still need to see a chiropractic specialist after all of it. I am currently on bed rest, and was taken out of work, which heavily impacts my family, especially my 3 son's. I am left with tickets for losing control of my vehicle and damages to the city. As well as hospital and salvage & rescue bills I cannot afford, and now added stress being without work and a car. Without any vehicle it is almost near impossible to get around, but even more impossible to get to work to provide care to my children. I am asking for any help possible, I know times are tough right now, I am not asking anyone to pay my bills, but to help with a vehicle, so I can afford taking care of my family and the rest will take care of itself, even if I have to repair it on my own accord. Within the last several years, I have gone through my trials and tribulations, my business shutdown post covid, my car blew up and caught fire while I was trapped inside, I went through a divorce, lost my home and became homeless, through it all I have kept my head up and myself together. Within the last year I lost my bestfriend, my baby brother Juan J. Barbosa-Gomez due to a vehicle accident and we were just barely able to cover the expenses of his proceedings and received help from others, unfortunately my family nor I are able to maintain a financial position ourselves. And why I am reaching out today, to help maintain a safe and reliable operating vehicle for my children. I am praying in hopes that our community and the communities across this platform and many others can come together and help me and my family out and with the understanding that GoFundMe takes a portion of funds.
